THE REVIEW

Third Law "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction".

Soundtrack of jarring contrasts. Desolate icy solitude, the hope of a romantic awareness of being alone for a brief moment in a sonorous sci-fi journey.

"In System" floating in the void to the sound of a cello, crossing unknown electro wrecks, dark matter, and background noise. Suite of the infinite.

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe," sound deconstruction of "Mass," perhaps only briefly glimpsed by a Daniel Lopatin some solar cycles ago.

Weightlessness, the solitude of Kubrickian cosmic horizons of "401," the finale of the space odyssey of the now shattered synthetic intelligence of Hall.

Ambient scratched by dark mysterious metallic entities that shine to the alien rhythm of the universal spheres. Presences that at the end of the journey, in the music of the closing credits, pay homage to the fathers in the synthetic orchestrations of Tangerine Dream.
